Steve Bisciotti knows the art of interviewing.
Before buying the Ravens, Bisciotti made his money in the staffing business. He founded and built the company Aerotek into the largest staffing firm in the United States and a global leader.
So when Bisciotti sat down with John Harbaugh eight years ago to discuss the Ravens’ head coaching vacancy, he had one particular question to determine if Harbaugh was the man for the job.
“It was a trick question,” Bisciotti said with a laugh during a conference call with PSL owners.
“My question to him was, ‘If, by a strange twist of fate, I gave you the job today but told you that you could only spend 100 hours in this facility from now until the kickoff of the first game, how would you spend those 100 hours?'”
Bisciotti recalled the story by explaining that Harbaugh wasn’t exactly sure how to respond. The eventual Ravens head coach “looked at me kind of puzzled, and he got a little nervous,” Bisciotti said.
Harbaugh took some time to think it over, and wasn’t exactly confident on his answer.
